Garnett will be joined by special guests from the worlds of entertainment and sports and give fans a colorful look at the game from his unique perspective. Content around the segments will be distributed across multiple platforms including NBA on TNT, Turner-owned Bleacher Report and social media channels.

“I'm excited to join the Turner family,” said Garnett. “I've been a fan for a long time, so I'm thrilled that it's a reality now.”

"KG's incredible passion for the game brings a new unfiltered narrative to our coverage,” said Craig Barry, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer. “This raw innovative approach will speak directly to the fans across multiple platforms."

The former Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets star played 21 seasons in the NBA after being drafted fifth overall in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Timberwolves. Garnett – who became the first NBA player in 20 years to be selected directly out of high school – led Minnesota to eight consecutive playoff appearances and finished as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer.

In 2007, Garnett was traded to the Celtics and immediately helped lead the team a championship. Garnett played six seasons in Boston, helping the team to the playoffs every year. Traded to the Nets in 2013, he spent just over one season apiece with Brooklyn and Minnesota before retiring last month.

He also won a Gold Medal as a member of the U.S. Men’s National Team in the 2000 Olympics.
